In addition, the Authority shall ensure that the value of all spare parts inventory and Consumables at the end of the Term shall be equal to the value of such inventory at the beginning of the Term. SECTION 8.3. PERIODIC MAINTENANCE INSPECTIONS. (A) Annual Maintenance Inspection. The City may, upon reasonable written notice, perform an inspection of the Facilities and relevant records of the Authority each Contract Year to determine compliance with the Contract Standards generally. The Authority shall cooperate fully with such inspection, which shall not interfere unreasonably with the Authority's performance of the Contract Services. (B) Triennial Inspections. Beginning in the third Contract Year, and the every third Contract Year thereafter, the City may conduct a more detailed inspection and review of the state of repair, working condition and performance capability of the Facilities. This inspection and review shall be performed by or on behalf of the City at the City's expense, and shall take place at such time as the City shall determine upon three months' written notice to the Authority. The principal purpose of the inspection and review shall be to permit the City to ascertain on a comprehensive and focused basis the extent to which the Facilities are being properly maintained, repaired and replaced in accordance with the Contract Standards generally. The inspection shall include a concurrent review of all relevant data, records and reports. The Authority shall cooperate fully with such inspections, which shall not interfere unreasonably with the Authority's performance of the Contract Services. The City shall provide the Authority with a report of any such inspections within 30 days of receipt of the completed report, and the City shall give the Authority an opportunity to respond to the report. (C) Response Plan. Based on the annual operations and maintenance reports submitted by the Authority pursuant to Section 6.15 or the annual or triennial inspections and reviews conducted pursuant to this Section, the City may submit a statement to the Authority detailing any deficiencies found and requiring the Authority to submit a response plan. The response plan shall be sufficient to reasonably demonstrate that, if implemented, the Facilities will be promptly brought into compliance with the requirements of this Article. If the City accepts the response plan, the Authority shall thereupon implement the plan in accordance therewith. Failing any required corrective action, the Service Fee payments may be reduced by the amount of the actual costs of remediation, if any, until the costs are fully recovered by the City. Any disputes with respect to the cause or amounts specified in the City's statement, not resolved to the mutual satisfaction of the parties, shall be determined as provided in Section 11.9. (D) Unscheduled Inspections. Nothing in this Section shall limit the City's right, on an unscheduled basis, to inspect the Facilities and relevant records of the Authority to determine compliance with this Article. 58
